General Information

Macros and addons are an integral part of a raider's arsenal as they can
make it easier to perform a variety of tasks, improving your overall game
experience. On this page, we present macros and addons that can be useful to a
Windwalker Monk in World of Warcraft Legion 7.1.

The other pages of our Windwalker Monk guide can be accessed
from the table of contents on the right.

specialisation to its full potential.

2. Addons

2.1. Generic Addons for Monks

2.1.1. ElvUI

Here, at Icy Veins, we use
ElvUI
for all our characters. This addon is a complete replacement of the default
User Interface. It comes with almost everything you need to perform properly:
action bars, cooldown timers, proc display, etc.

2.1.2. Boss Mods: Deadly Boss Mods or Bigwigs

Boss mods are addons that warn you about boss abilities and give you
live advice on how to handle some mechanics. We strongly recommend you to
get one such addon. At Icy Veins, we mostly use
Deadly Boss Mods,
the most popular boss mod. A good alternative is
Big Wigs.

2.1.3. GTFO

GTFO is a lightweight
addon that notifies you when you are standing in harmful effects or when you
are making other such mistakes. It is very useful, even if your boss mod is
already alerting you of such things.

2.1.4. Parrot or Mik's Scrolling Battle Text

Parrot and
Mik's Scrolling Battle Text are highly
customisable addons for displaying floating battle text while in combat (incoming
heals, damage of your spells, etc.). They both work very well by default.

2.1.5. Weak Auras

WeakAuras is an
extremely useful addon that allows you to have visual effects on your screen,
helping you track your buffs, debuffs and cooldowns. It is highly customisable
and it can make it much, much easier to keep track of your procs and play your
spec more proficiently. It can also be used for a variety of other
functions.

2.1.6. Recount / Skada / Details!

Recount is a
well known addon that most people use for displaying current DPS or HPS
(Healing Per Second). This add-on is not really lightweight, and provides a
very high amount of information (and it can sometimes cause issues with
performance). It is generally a good option to use Recount for checking what you
take damage from and if the share of damage/healing you do with each of your
abilities is similar to that of other players of your class.

An alternative to Recount (similar in function, so the choice is personal
preference) is Details!.

2.1.7. Grid and GridClickSets (Optional)

ElvUI comes with decent raid frames. The only real reason for using
Grid and
GridClickSets
is if you want to be able to decurse raid or party members by right
clicking their frame in the raid of party frame. If you choose to go with
Grid, then you might want to also use
GridStatusRaidDebuff.

2.1.8. Omen Threat Meter

Omen Threat Meter
is the most popular addon for displaying the current threat levels on your
target. We recommend you to use it to avoid taking aggro when the tank is still building
up threat on an enemy.

2.2. Specific Addons for Windwalker Monks

Currently, we do not believe that you need any additional addons to play your
specialisation to its full potential.
